Awards and TestimonialsThe comments that I'm getting back from the units using these are that they are surprised on how long that they last. They are great because we don't have to change batteries as much or carry as many spare batteries. They have out performed everything else that we have used, and we are trying to find other ways to utilize them (laptops, INMARSAT, etc). Capt. Jonnie Jones, 26th MEU

“Your efforts in managing and supplying zinc-air batteries were seen as nothing less than spectacular. The long hours, hard work, and personal sacrifices made in support of these operations have ensured our War Fighters had the necessary resources to successfully conduct their missions without interruption.” Sincerely, |

The Electric Fuel guys personally drove up to give some training. I highly suggest this product for BN Scouts, FIST, Light Infantry RTO's, LRRS elements. I am dropping a purchase request of close to $50,000 and it is worth every penny. The battery lasts longer than advertised, pushes more power so there is more distance for the manpacks, and the weight saved compared to 5590's is greatly appreciated by the Soldiers humping the weight.
